Hi, I replied to another "hello" message but thought maybe this would stand out on its own to let you know I've joined the group. I discovered your forum today and am delighted with the many, many Amazing Loudspeaker queries and replies! A great group of enthusiasts, you are.

I'm now in Santa Fe, New Mexico, having relocated from San Francisco, CA some months ago. My Amazing Platinums are central to my listening pleasure and are the best things I've heard (well, maybe some assisted electrostatics were pretty impressive, too). Musical interests: classical and opera, so the ribbons and woofers do a fantastic job. Or did, until a recent buzz started in the right speaker's bottom woofer. Hmmmm. So, I've posted an inquiry on one of the topics (either the speakers or repairs, I don't recall).

Glad to be here and I'll continue to scan all the issues you folks send in (I've got lots of time, since I'm on permanent vacation as a retiree (but young in body and spirit!) and enjoying the heck out of things in general. It's a great place to be in life!
